For when it matters most.

The Law Office of Parker Palmer protects what is yours through disciplined advocacy, careful judgment, and the willingness to take cases as far as they need to go.

Whether your legal matter stems from an arrest or involves your family, your business or livelihood, an injury, or civil accountability, our work is the same: understand the facts better than anyone else, apply the law with precision, and press relentlessly for outcomes that protect your rights and interests. We work with clients who need an uncompromising attorney that will hold the other side to account.

Legal services in Bellingham, Seattle, and beyond.

Our clients are individuals and families across Northwest Washington, including Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, San Juan, Island, and King Counties, in both state and federal courts, who are facing arrest or serious disputes and need focused, effective advocacy.

We are a boutique firm housed in the historic Herald Building in downtown Bellingham—a place long associated with public accountability and the exchange of ideas—this office carries that tradition forward through focused, principled advocacy. Our office rejects the volume-based, assembly-line practices of larger firms, and we maintain a deliberately lean caseload so that the time, judgment, preparation, and strategy can be tailored precisely to the facts of your case.

Let’s get to work.

No matter what legal uncertainty you are facing - send us a message and we’ll see if we can help.
